Macao,a densely-populated region recently praised for its management of COVID-19, kicks off its holiday season with the “Macao Light Festival – Light Carnival,” the first major consumer event hosted in Macao since the pandemic. Organized by Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO), the festival will take place from September 26 – October 31, 2020.
Marking the sixth iteration of the festival, this year’s carnival-themed elements will consist of vibrant outdoor light installations, interactive games, performances, and projection mapping on Macao’s stunning historical buildings. The Macao Light Festival – Light Carnival will promote Macao’s diverse cultures and rich history, and is timed to occur after Macao’s borders reopen to visitors from Mainland China.
Macao’s successful preventive measures against COVID-19, which were recently shared by MGTO in a video, have kept the special administrative region free of COVID-19 cases for over 175 days. From temperature screenings and the provision of hand sanitizers, to U/V sterilizers and social distancing, Macao’s implementation of necessary protocols have allowed residents of Macao to enjoy reopened businesses, including restaurants, resorts and schools, since March 2020 without incurring an increase of cases.
While currently closed to other international tourists, Macao hopes a successful reopening to Mainland China visitors will pave the way for other destinations. U.S. consumers can get a virtual glimpse of the Macao Light Festival – Light Carnival and receive other destination updates via social media @MacaoUSA or by going to visitmacaochina.com.
